Default Re: Small Animals Opinions Wanted :3

That does sound like a great job!
I don't know a lot about gerbils either tbh but I'm pretty sure they do need to live in pairs or groups rather like rats do so if you just want one animal that doesn't require too much space (compared to some other animals that is) I'd go for another ham too.
Quite a lot of people on here have both syrian hams & the russian hybrids (what the pet stores generally call winter whites) & most seem to do well, do you not get any hams at the shelter where you work that you could give a nice home to?
Both Russian hams & syrians, or even robos are quite different to Chinese hams so it would be a new experience even though still a hamster!
